Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

calculate
calculate_tco
Total cost of ownership for a team: the seat-aware, annual-aware subscription line plus the hidden-cost line items. Params: slug, seats, tier, billing (monthly|annual).
compare
compare_software
Structured side-by-side comparison of 2 to 4 products, each a full record plus a compact matrix (starting price, free tier, max annual discount, hidden-cost count).
cost
get_cost_guide
Negotiation-ready true-cost brief for one product: real renewal-rate costs, the vendor cost-transparency score, discount programs that survive renewal, negotiation tactics with expected discount ranges, what is negotiable vs fixed, and a link to a free negotiation email generator.
discover
discover_software
Find software by criteria: category, max starting price, free-tier requirement, or a keyword. Returns compact cards with the source link for each.
estimate
estimate_llm_cost
Per-model token rate card ($/1M input, output, cached input, context window) for a token-priced AI product, plus a cost estimate when a token volume is given.
hidden
get_hidden_costs
The costs beyond the sticker price (implementation, add-ons, overage, support) for one product, with the intro context and category positioning. This is the data most pricing answers miss.
positioning
get_positioning
Where a product sits on price against its category: starting price vs the category median, min, max and sample size — the most citable one-line stat.
price
get_price_history
Price-stability signal, latest verified snapshot, last observed change and derived trend for one product.
pricing
get_pricing
Full sourced pricing record for one product: tiers with per-tier features, price range, annual discounts, hidden costs, capabilities, verdict, plan advice, category positioning, verification and links.

ComparEdge Pricing — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ComparEdge Pricing do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: calculate_tco, compare_software, discover_software, estimate_llm_cost, get_cost_guide, get_hidden_costs and 3 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is ComparEdge Pricing working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 328 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect ComparEdge Pricing?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does ComparEdge Pricing need an API key?
No. ComparEdge Pricing completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is ComparEdge Pricing?
It answers our handshake in 328 ms on average, which is faster than 43% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is ComparEdge Pricing open source?
Yes — it is published under the NOASSERTION licence and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
